Adam Langley 512a289a8a Add support for dummy PQ padding.
This extension will be used to measure the latency impact of potentially
sending a post-quantum key share by default. At this time it's purely
measuring the impact of the client sending the key share, not the server
replying with a ciphertext.

We could use the existing padding extension for this but that extension
doesn't allow the server to echo it, so we would need a different
extension in the future anyway. Thus we just create one now.

We can assume that modern clients will be using TLS 1.3 by the time that
PQ key-exchange is established and thus the key share will be sent in
all ClientHello messages. However, since TLS 1.3 isn't quite here yet,
this extension is also sent for TLS 1.0–1.2 ClientHellos. The latency
impact should be the same either way.

BoringSSL SSL Tests

This directory contains BoringSSL's protocol-level test suite.

Testing a TLS implementation can be difficult. We need to produce invalid but sufficiently correct handshakes to get our implementation close to its edge cases. TLS's cryptographic steps mean we cannot use a transcript and effectively need a TLS implementation on the other end. But we do not wish to litter BoringSSL with options for bugs to test against.

Instead, we use a fork of the Go crypto/tls package, heavily patched with configurable bugs. This code, along with a test suite and harness written in Go, lives in the runner directory. The harness runs BoringSSL via a C/C++ shim binary which lives in this directory. All communication with the shim binary occurs with command-line flags, sockets, and standard I/O.

This strategy also ensures we always test against a second implementation. All features should be implemented twice, once in C for BoringSSL and once in Go for testing. If possible, the Go code should be suitable for potentially upstreaming. However, sometimes test code has different needs. For example, our test DTLS code enforces strict ordering on sequence numbers and has controlled packet drop simulation.

To run the tests manually, run go test from the runner directory. It takes command-line flags found at the top of runner/runner.go. The -help option also works after using go test -c to make a runner.test binary first.

If adding a new test, these files may be a good starting point:

  • runner/runner.go: the test harness and all the individual tests.
  • runner/common.go: contains the Config and ProtocolBugs struct which control the Go TLS implementation's behavior.
  • test_config.h, test_config.cc: the command-line flags which control the shim's behavior.
  • bssl_shim.cc: the shim binary itself.

For porting the test suite to a different implementation see PORTING.md.
